Tintern Junior School Loma Street, Ringwood East, Victoria 3135

Welcome to Tintern Junior School, located in the vibrant neighborhood of Ringwood East, Australia. As a renowned establishment and point of interest, we take great pride in providing a nurturing and engaging environment for primary school students.

At Tintern Junior School, we understand the importance of a smooth transition from Kinder or Pre-Prep to formalized studies. That's why our Parallel Learning program ensures that both boys and girls make a seamless shift into academic life while fostering their social development.

For boys, we offer the unique benefit of tailored, gender-specific classrooms, allowing them to thrive in an environment that celebrates engagement, interaction, and physicality. Our curriculum and specialist classes are designed to provide a hands-on learning experience, balanced with method and content. We focus on building strong foundations in phonics using internationally recognized programs such as Letterland and the Spalding Method, equipping our boys with essential literacy skills.

We understand that growing boys are full of energy, which is why our students participate in supervised activities called "Energy Plus" each morning. These activities encourage movement and prepare our active young boys to fully engage and excel in their classroom studies.

Belonging, friendships, and role-modeling are essential for boys, and we emphasize the importance of sustaining strong, respectful relationships with fellow students, friends, and the community. We create a culture that appreciates their vibrancy, enthusiasm, and curiosity while helping them develop attributes such as self-confidence, self-knowledge, self-awareness, and self-respect. We also nurture their emotional maturity in a safe and respectful environment.

At Tintern Junior School, we celebrate and enjoy learning with our boys. From core subjects like English, Science, and Maths to sports, music, and the arts, we provide a well-rounded education that allows them to flourish, grow, and excel on their journey to manhood.

For our girls, we also offer tailored, gender-specific classrooms while providing opportunities for planned activities with boys within the school grounds. Girls' education is a specialized field, and our classes and curriculum are carefully structured to cater to their specific needs and strengths. We encourage them to participate, build confidence, and develop leadership skills in a warm, caring, and supportive environment.

Our girls have access to specialist classes in French, Art, PE, Library, and Music, making their Junior School experience exciting, engaging, and fun. We also provide numerous opportunities for them to further their talents and sharpen their abilities in a broad range of activities. We emphasize community awareness programs, social justice, and global citizenship, preparing our girls for future success in various careers.

As girls encounter pre-adolescence, we offer support and advice through specific programs like "MPower" and "Family Life." We help them navigate their personal development and embrace the transition from girls to young women.

For over 140 years, Tintern Grammar has been dedicated to empowering girls and preparing them to become strong, successful women. We honor the Wurundjeri people, the traditional custodians of the land where we learn, meet, and play. We pay our respects to their Elders, both past and present, as they hold the memories, traditions, culture, and hopes of Indigenous Australia.

Join us at Tintern Junior School, where we nurture, mentor, and care for our students, allowing them to flourish, grow, and excel in their journey towards a bright future.
